When Huang Tingting went to work, she thought that the propaganda department she was in charge of had some propaganda materials that needed to be printed, so she went to several subordinate offices to collect them. In the corridor, she met her deputy Xue Mingyi, Xue Mingyi told Huang Tingting: "I answered a phone call from the leader just now, you were not there, he said that the Spring Festival is coming, and tomorrow night our unit will send a few female comrades to participate in a high-level Spring Festival ball, and accompany some old cadres and foreign experts to dance ballroom dances." The above asked you to go, saying that this is a mission. ”

Huang Tingting said: "Okay, I will definitely go." ”

Xue Mingyi said: "Director Huang, I'll go tomorrow too, I just learned to dance, and I'm very addicted, and the soles of my feet itch when I mention dancing." ”

"Deputy Director Xue, didn't you say that you want a lesbian to go?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't let gay men go! Do you think it's okay for me to go? ”

"It's your own business whether you go or not, make your own decisions, and it has nothing to do with me." Huang Tingting threw Xue Mingyi a word and left.

Xue Mingyi chased after him and said, "Director Huang, to put it bluntly, I just want to learn ballroom dancing with you!" You've got to teach me! Huang Tingting pretended not to hear, and she walked into an office without looking back.

Xue Mingyi was transferred from the army to Huang Tingting's unit a few months ago, Xue Mingyi's cultural level and work ability are not high, but he is very eloquent, and he often talks eloquently when he holds meetings, and his words are basically a hodgepodge of various political terms and slogans that are popular in society. Xue Mingyi is a demobilized soldier who was born in a revolutionary family and belongs to a generation with good roots, which is one of his major political advantages. Although Huang Tingting was not very satisfied with her deputy, she could only accept it because Xue Mingyi was assigned by her superiors. However, Huang Tingting hopes that Xue Mingyi can continue to improve his work ability at work.

Xue Mingyi respected Huang Tingting very much, he knew that Huang Tingting was an underground party member who worked as young students before liberation, with qualifications, culture, and work ability and his direct leadership, and he also had a crush on the young and beautiful Huang Tingting.

Xue Mingyi was always very polite and polite when he saw Huang Tingting. put on a gentle and elegant appearance, and from time to time he found time to report his thoughts and solicit opinions to Huang Tingting, in short, he always tried to find opportunities to contact Huang Tingting more. However, Xue Mingyi did not win Huang Tingting's favor by doing this, but made Huang Tingting feel that Xue Mingyi was sticky and a little annoying, so she usually tried to keep a certain distance from Xue Mingyi in addition to work.

In the evening, a grand dance party was being held in a splendid hotel, and the band in the orchestra pit was playing a very blues dance music, and a pair of dance partners on the dance floor were dancing happily in a rhythmic rhythm, and the male dancers were basically middle-aged and elderly cadres and Soviet aid experts. Most of the female dance partners are young and beautiful girls.

Huang Tingting danced a few tunes with a Soviet expert, she felt a little tired, so she politely said "Thank you!" to the Soviet expert! Good bye! "Then he walked off the field. At this time, the band played a warm and cheerful waltz "Blue Danube", and several people came forward to invite Huang Tingting to dance, but Huang Tingting politely refused, she wanted to take a break.

Huang Tingting sat alone on the chair and watched with interest the people on the dance floor who were spinning with waltzes, and she found that one of the old men with white hair was dancing very hard, this old man was around sixty years old, with a ruddy face and a fat body, but when he danced, his body looked light and elegant, and his petite dance partner was driven by him to rotate and dance all kinds of dance steps. It is very eye-catching among the many dancers, and Huang Tingting admires them with relish.

"Director Huang, you're here." Hearing someone talking to herself in her ear, Huang Tingting turned her head to look, and it turned out that Xue Mingyi was greeting her. I saw that Xue Mingyi was wearing a well-fitting dark suit tonight. Wearing a brightly colored tie.

Huang Tingting felt strange and asked, "Xue Mingyi, today's ball is inviting a lesbian, are you really here?" ”

Xue Mingyi said: "I came with my father today. ”

"Oh, your father was at today's ball."

"Yes. You see it's the guy with gray hair and a fat body. Huang Tingting looked in the direction of Xue Mingyi's finger, and it turned out that the old man who danced very hard was Xue Mingyi's father.

"Director Huang, you see this song is not over yet. Shall I ask you to dance along? ”

"No, I've already jumped several times, I'm sweating, and I want to take a break."

"Okay then, you rest, I'll ask you to jump later." After Xue Mingyi finished speaking, he sat down next to Huang Tingting, and the two chatted.

When the waltz ended, the dance host announced a ten-minute break, and the crowd walked off. Xue Mingyi stood up and greeted his father, the white-haired old man walked over after seeing his son, and Huang Tingting hurriedly stood up and greeted him politely. Xue Mingyi introduced his colleague Huang Tingting to his father, and the old man shook hands with Huang Tingting warmly, he said: "You are Comrade Huang Tingting, I have heard your name in the bureau, you are a very good cadre!" In the chat, Huang Tingting learned that this personable old man turned out to be Director Xue of the higher-level department.

Huang Tingting said to Director Xue with great appreciation: "I have been paying attention to you for a long time just now, your dancing is so good, you are really old and strong, and you are not inferior to young people!" ”

Director Xue said to Huang Tingting: "Don't praise me first, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, you are the best dancer and the most beautiful person among the lesbians today!" When Director Xue said this, Huang Tingting blushed. Director Xue saw that Huang Tingting was embarrassed and said again: "Really, I'm not complimenting you, you are indeed very eye-catching and outstanding today, and the foreign expert just now is always dancing with you, I am jealous!" If it weren't for international friendship, haha! I've snatched you from him a long time ago! He laughed.

Director Xue pulled Xue Mingyi and said to Huang Tingting: "My son always praises you in front of me for how good you are, how capable you are, don't look at your youth, I know that you are an old revolutionary, and I ask you to guide and help Xue Mingyi in the future." ”

Xue Mingyi also said: "Yes, please also ask Director Huang to care more about me and help me in normal times." ”

"We have to help each other and make progress together." Huang Tingting said politely.

While the three of them were chatting, another dance music sounded, this one was a rumba with a strong Latin style, and the cheerful and enthusiastic dance music seemed to urge people to hurry back to the dance floor. Director Xue said to his son: "Mingyi, you can dance with Comrade Huang Tingting." Xue Mingyi said that he couldn't dance Rumba, and Director Xue said to Huang Tingting: "Xiao Huang, then I will ask you to jump." He put his left arm on his chest, leaned forward slightly, stretched out his right arm and made an elegant gesture and said, "Please!" ”

Director Xue and Huang Tingting walked to the dance floor and danced to the beautiful dance music. Huang Tingting felt that she was best at jumping Rumba, she didn't expect Director Xue to dance better, in the strong and cheerful rhythm of Rumba, Director Xue skillfully swung his hips and hips to change steps, and his fat body did not show the slightest clumsiness, not even a trace of panting. Although it was the first time for the two to be dance partners, the two of them cooperated tacitly with each move, dancing unrestrained and smooth in the strong and agitated melody of the rumba, and the sense of rhythm was very well grasped. Almost everyone on the field focused their eyes on these two people. During the dance, Huang Tingting asked strangely: "Director Xue, why are you dancing so well?" It's like a professional!"

"I loved ballroom dancing when I was in college, and I used to go to various dance parties at that time, and I was definitely a master of the dance field when I was younger. Although I stopped jumping after joining the revolution, I haven't forgotten it, and now I'm picking it up again. ”

Huang Tingting said with a smile: "I see, no wonder you dance so well!" ”

"Don't praise me, you dance very well, you dance with a graceful demeanor, light steps, and a strong sense of rhythm. Hey, Yellow, do you know how to do tango? I think there is a lot of content in tango, and dancing tango is like telling a story. My favorite thing is tango dancing! ”

"Yes, but not well."

"Okay, I'll take you to the dance later. , the more you dance, the more familiar you become, and if you don't dance, you will be rusty. ”

After Huang Tingting and Director Xue danced a few tunes, they danced a simple and easy slow-tempo blues with Xue Mingyi. In the process of dancing with Xue Mingyi, Xue Mingyi straightened his stiff body and walked clumsily, often stepping on Huang Tingting's feet, and he hugged Huang Tingting's waist very tightly, which made Huang Tingting feel very uncomfortable. Huang Tingting told Xue Mingyi to gently place the tiger mouth of her right hand on the upper part of her female partner's waist, but Xue Mingyi's hand still hugged her waist tightly. After dancing down, Xue Mingyi still wanted to continue dancing with Huang Tingting, but Huang Tingting was no longer interested in dancing with him.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the dance party continued, it seemed that it was going to dance all night, and Huang Tingting said goodbye to Director Xue when she wanted to go home to rest. Director Xue asked his driver to send Huang Tingting home, and Huang Tingting said that her family lived nearby and would take ten minutes to get home by bicycle. Director Xue saw that she refused to take the car, so he asked Xue Mingyi to give Huang Tingting a ride, Director Xue personally sent Huang Tingting out of the door of the hotel, and when he parted, he said to Huang Tingting: "There is a dance party next week, you must come." ”

Huang Tingting said noncommittally: "Director Xue, in fact, I rarely dance, let's talk about it when the situation comes." Good bye! (To be continued......)
